Interviewing for jobs while being a Consultant is incredibly difficult. It's better than the other option but that doesn't take away the stress.

Oh I've learned it but you would think I'm interviewing for c-suite with all the rounds of interviews...too many 'Personal commitments' at this point

My buddy told me recently that he had 7 rounds of interviews recently for a boutique strat consulting gig in NYC. That seems incredibly excessive realizing I'm a few years out from the last time I interviewed and I thought 3 was excessive for Accenture

The other option would have been me being part of the purge...

The phrase you need to learn is "I have to leave at *x* I personal commitments"

Nope. Incredibly cautious.

It isn't just the election year. Nobody can figure out China or Europe (Germany and France keep flipping and Italy just sucks). Big-Box retail is tanking - with little plan to effectively correct - while Amazon is consolidating power. Oil & Gas - and energy/commodities still in the tank due to excess production/supply and continually weak demand. If consulting firms - they have the ability to be slow due to talent availability. Industry is going into Q4 where budgets are often capped to meat earnings.

3 is fine. 7 is definitely excessive.

Just had the last interview of the second stage which consists of four 45mins interviews with different people. I got the feeling that the last interviewer wasn't focusing on what I was answering to him. No small talk in the beginning and he was slightly laughing where there's nothing to laugh about while I was doing my introduction. He also asked me the same questions (at least that's how I interpreted) and I had to repeat the same answer. Continue in the comments:

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!
